Herslev Double IPA

Tap to rate

Plenty of everything: overflowing hops are balanced by a heavy malt bass in this organic Double IPA. It is a beer for slow, thoughtful sipping as much as for sharing in good company. Brewed with organic barley, wheat and hops at the organic farm brewery in Herslev, near Roskilde.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Herslev Double IPA

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity, revealing the beer's bright, translucent character. A thick, creamy head forms and clings persistently to the glass, leaving distinct lacing with each sip. Carbonation is vigorous and well-integrated, supporting the visual presentation throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with assertive noble hop character—citrus and piney notes dominate, balanced by warm, organic malt undertones that provide a biscuity counterpoint. Subtle fruity esters emerge behind the hop-forward profile, suggesting careful fermentation of the organic grain bill. The overall aromatic impression is clean and inviting rather than aggressive.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a hoppy bite that is immediately tempered by a weighty malt foundation of barley and wheat, creating genuine balance rather than one-dimensional intensity. Mid-palate develops warm, grainy sweetness with lingering bitter notes that build gradually toward a dry, resinous conclusion. The 65 IBU bitterness feels structural and earned, never sharp or fatiguing.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and contemplative, with hop bitterness gradually giving way to dry malt character and a subtle wheat spiciness. Aftertaste remains clean, inviting another sip without cloying.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
